Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4382877, member: 44"] Yeah that’s just flat out the wrong. Journalists used to use multiple sources to validate the facts that they report. Watergate is a great example and that they didn’t go with that story until they were sure. In the event that they aren’t 100% sure they can either wait and do more digging or state that they have uncorroborated reports of an allegation. Even that is risky, but at least it’s honest. Reporting alligation as fact is a relatively recent occurrence. [/QUOTE]
